[Intro - Young Noble]
Without tha past there's no future
You gotta know where you come from to know where you goin, homie
It's your history
Outlawz and the homie Seal
You dig it?
From L.A. to Simbabwe, feel this!

[Young Noble]
We come from soldiers like 'Pac, Malcom, Marren and Marvin
Crossed seas on a slave ship bleedin and starvin
I'm the son of a ex fiend, child of a lost father
Adopted by the streetz, and ain't nobody bother
I wasn't braced by the thugs on the coners so we went against the lawz
And our wrong that they thought us
The past equals future, life equals death
Learn yourself and sometimes we all need help

[EDI]
They got me starin at the world through my rearview, it's history
Past time paradise is what it used to be
Power to the people, the struggle was in the streetz
We fight for the half-nuts and the babies with nuttin to eat
And the O.G.'s, the ones there went before us 
The ones who thought us what's torture, and never talked
Warriros, we do it for y'all we'll never let em forget
It's history until the end of time - feel us


[Chorus - Seal]


[Napoleon]
Outlaw!
Street walkin, talkin to my lil homies
I give a dame hope they won't it use it on them phonies
I do this here for the kids in the ghetto, want to make it out the hood
Search for love, you won't help them, so they play with heavy metal in 
So they ride till they die, till the lord come and get em 
With the grace of Allah I see the snakes in my eyes
I recognize the lies, it only make me survive

[Kastro]
I guess my sister lived for, my family need me
I'm tired of bein bored, bein me ain't easy
It's a trip bein born to a broken home 
on his mind so it's fine we won't breathe alongO
As we breath indeed, we can achive our dreams
Even though these demons schemin when the scene
It's what I got to work with, not alot the worst shit
A life in the dark with a light on the surface, is that my history?

[Chorus - Seal]
